Ingredients

1 lb lump crabmeat, picked over

¼ cup mayonnaise

3 scallions, thinly sliced

1 large egg, lightly beaten

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

¾ teaspoon dry mustard

½ teaspoon cayenne

1¾ cups fine dry bread crumbs, divided

¾ cup vegetable oil

4 kaiser rolls or hamburger buns, split and toasted

Accompaniments: tartar sauce; iceberg lettuce

Directions

Stir together crabmeat, mayonnaise, scallions, egg, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cayenne, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup bread crumbs in a bowl until just combined. Form into 4 (1-inch-thick) patties (3½ inches in diameter; patties will be soft but will firm up when

fried). Spread remaining cup bread crumbs on a plate, then dredge patties in crumbs, knocking off excess, and transfer to a platter. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then fry patties, turning over once, until golden, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Assemble burgers with buns and accompaniments.

Note: Patties can be formed, without bread crumb coating, 12 hours ahead, and chilled, covered. Dredge in bread crumbs just before frying.

The crab cake sandwich idea sounds wonderful! I hate saying this *but* I have made crab cakes many times and I never thought about making them into a sandwich until now. It is those simple things that can be so evasive! Your the best, thank you for a great post and now I have a new quest...yum! :D

Softgrey - if you like spicy, try mixing mayo with a few squirts of Thai chili sauce and maybe a bit of lime juice instead of tartar sauce.

I made this over the weekend for lunch. Very filling! I could hardly finish mine - although I did! :D I was thinking a tomato would be good on it. I'll try that next time. Thank you.
